The experience of pain is your bodies’ way of telling you that something is amiss. People who choose to silence their symptoms with medication are ignoring their bodies’ messages.  That would be like removing the battery to quiet your smoke detector!  Drugs may silence the pain, but they are ignoring the cause of it.

Common Causes of Back Pain

One common cause of pain is the nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone.  If you experience back pain, this could be a sign that these facets are not moving properly.

Another common cause stems from the discs between your spinal bones.  Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle of your discs to bulge.  This puts pressure on the nearby nerves resulting in pain.

You Have Options

Receiving chiropractic care from Ballantyne Advanced Chiropractic is your best option!  We have helped many people manage and relieve their back pain with safe, gentle, natural chiropractic care. However, you have other options:

• You can ignore the pain (which means your spinal problems will worsen).
• Get Bed Rest (this may prolong the problem).
• Physical Therapy (which will put additional stress on malfunctioning joints).
• Medication (deadens the pain, but does not work to fix the problem).
• Surgery (a radical last resort).

Take the Chiropractic Approach

Chiropractic adjustments work to improve your spinal functioning.  When you repair your spinal functioning, the benefits are endless.  Nerve involvement will be reduced, discs and soft tissue will heal, your pain will lessen and better stability will return.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn’t some back pain normal?

Any type of pain you experience is a signal that something is not right. When you experience pain, your body is telling you that you have reached your limit or developed a problem.  Due to our ability to adapt to pain, many people ignore minor aches and pains. And while the pain may subside, the underlying problem will begin to slowly worsen if it remains unattended.  This means the problem will be more difficult and expensive to resolve in the future.

Can muscle relaxers help me?

Chiropractors rely only on natural methods and do not dispense drugs of any kind.  Over-the-counter pain relievers as well as prescription muscle relaxers fail on two counts. First, they do not address the underlying cause of the problem.  Second, there are many dangerous side effects including addiction, liver damage, kidney failure and even death.  Ballantyne Advanced Chiropractic suggests you try ice. Ice has an analgesic effect without any of the dangerous side effects caused by medication.

So, how does chiropractic work?

Chiropractic works because your body is controlled by your nervous system.  Your brain sends instructions down the spinal cord and out to every organ and tissue.  Signals are then sent back to the brain letting it know if the body is functioning properly.  If the moving bones of the spine experience improper motion or position, this will interfere with the vital exchange of signals and compromise the function of the affected organs and tissues.  The specific spinal adjustments offered at Ballantyne Advanced Chiropractic are designed to improve the very important mind/body communication system.  When the nervous system is improved and functioning properly, health returns to the body.

Will my insurance pay for my chiropractic visits?
